Fata Morgana Art Installation

This art installation is named Fata Morgana, and was set up by Ralph Helmick and Stuart Schechter in 2001 at Ft. Lauderdale, FL. This sculpture is a romantic pictorial exercise pushing a traditional painterly subject–the seascape–into three dimensions. As you can see, the central image is a cruise ship and its reflection. Over 16 000 cables are suspended from a framework attached to the ceiling. If you jump inside the article, you can see the sculpture up close, and you will notice that it is made of thousands of smaller sculptures.
